Day 3 of #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas

Thanks so much for stopping by CarleeMcDot.com today. Whether you've been following along on my journey since I started this blog OVER ELEVEN YEARS AGO or you stopped by for the first time today - WELCOME!

And no matter how long you've been visiting, you picked an AMAZING time to pop in because we're celebrating my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas {read my post announcing this series HERE if you don't know what I'm talking about}.


Today is Day 3 of my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas! And the prize today is pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Although, to be honest, all of the prizes are AMAZEBALLS! If I could enter my own giveaways I'm pretty sure I would enter each and every one of them in this series because they are just that awesome.

Up for grabs today are: 3 Handful Bras.


For today, DAY THREE, three winners will be selected, each winning a Handful bra of their choice.

Although there is much debate as to whether or not a runner should wear under garments on their bottom half, the need for over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders for females while running is a MUST! And finding said garment can be tricky.

I was introduced to Handful bras a couple years ago and haven't looked back since. I will be the first to admit (especially since I would consider myself a self proclaimed 'Frugal Fred'), they cost a pretty penny, but I believe they're worth every cent (and not just because I'm an ambassador, I've been rocking these bras for years before they asked me to be part of their team)! Not only do they #FlatterNotFlatten (say goodbye to the unfortunate unaboob), but they come with removable Lights Out™ pads, offer flat seams on the inside for added comfort, have performance wicking lining and can be customized with adjustable length straps and strap configuration {can be X-back, straight or tied up as a halter}.


As a part of the #SportsBraSquad (which, let me remind you, I joined very reluctantly because I do not always love the way my body looks, but when it is hot and humid and you sweat through your shirt before you start your run, you've gotta do something), I am STOKED to have found a sports bra that not only looks great, but makes me feel great!


Entering this giveaway (along with the other #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas giveaways) is easy-peasy! Simply use the Rafflecopter widget below listed on the giveaway blog post and cross your fingers. Some entries are available daily so I'd HIGHLY recommend entering early and often. (Shoot, I would even go as far as suggesting you set an alarm to remind you to come back to this page every 24 hours so you can take advantage of as many entries as possible!)

Now, the nitty gritty details... All entries are verified, so please make sure to do whatever the required action for the entry is or it will be disqualified. I would hate for you to miss out on winning due to a technicality, so if you are going to click the option, make sure you do whatever it asks or a new, random winner will be selected in your place.

Also, this giveaway will last seven days, with the winners being picked (and notified) on the eighth day. The winners will have 24 hours to reply to the congratulations email from me to claim their prize. That means, for this specific giveaway, it will end on December 9th at 11:59pm PST and the THREE winners will be chosen on December 10th.


And, finally, the winners must have a US mailing address. International shipping seems to cost an arm and a leg these days, and customs is a major headache, so to make it easier (and cheaper) on the brands who have offered up their products, the winners must live in United States of America (or at least have an address we can ship to within the US).

With that said, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERS! And don't forget to stop back tomorrow to see what is up next in my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas (I promise you do NOT want to miss out on any of these giveaways!)!

PS Just in case you aren't one of the THREE lucky winners, you can use code "CARLEEMCDOT" for 15% off your order (because EVERYONE is a WINNER in my book)! So go get your shop on and save a few dollars in the process!

    ReplyDelete

  34. Moving Comfort Rebound Racer is the bra for me! I try other bras... love to find a cute one but my girls fed a baby & now they’re 44 years old and no longer stay where they should so, well, cute usually isn’t an option. I need zero movement!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I feel like I've tried SO many different sports bras (and I've definitely been one to jump around in the dressing room to test) my current favorite is by Oiselle (the classic verrazzano bra!)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Such an endorsement! I’ve had two kids and lost a lot of weight so my boob ain’t what they used to be. I’d love something that would flatter what I have left. Also, “handful” is the best name for a bra company

    ReplyDelete
  48. I want to try Handful bras so bad!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Always in need of a new bar... or 3

    ReplyDelete
  60. I've tried a ton of brands, none of which I've fallen in love with until I found this strappy Nike bra. It holds the girls in place AND is flattering if I wear a tank top when I'm not working out.

    ReplyDelete
  61. My current favorite is by Brooks Running, but I need to replace so many in my running drawer!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  70. My favorites are from Handful & Oiselle!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I am a big fan of Handful and Oiselle bras!

    ReplyDelete
  73. I have a hard time finding a sports bra support enough, but that doesn't leave me chaffed or suffocating. Would love to try these out.

    ReplyDelete
  99. ive tried a bunch but adidas always has my heart!

    ReplyDelete
  100. Not really. I wear target or academy brand ones mostly. They do ok.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Handful bras work and I'm partial to the oiselle verrzano for ultras!

    ReplyDelete
  102. I know I'm a guy commenting on a bra post, but I do know what the girls in my life like to wear. They are all pretty much obsessed with Handful too. (Which MAY be one of the things they are getting for Christmas this year.)

    ReplyDelete
  103. Still looking for my go-to running bra that is supportive but doesn't cause chafing

    ReplyDelete

  106. I haven't find my go to bra yet

    ReplyDelete
  107. No! I have yet to find one I love. I'm also pretty frugal and hate to think of spending so much, but after the chafing I've been getting, it's probably time to really invest.

    ReplyDelete
  108. I have a moving comfort bra that gives good support which I need as a breastfeeding mom. When I don't need that extra support I usually go with a champion bra from target. But I'm always on the lookout for a new brand that gives support and is comfortable!

    ReplyDelete
  111. My go-to bra has been a champion bra.... I am really intrigued by the handfull bra though, but worry that they won't work for bigger-chested ladies?! It would be great to try!

    ReplyDelete
  112. I've had good luck with Lululemon sport bras!

    ReplyDelete
  113. I've always used Champion and Roadrunner Sports sells them for $10 twice a year at their tent sale so I stock up then!

    ReplyDelete
  114. I have not found a bra I love, I just typically use the Target brand and wear two.

    ReplyDelete
  143. I love Handful and Brooks sports bras

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  152. Sadly, not yet. But my favorite one so far has been one I got from Athleta.

    ReplyDelete
  153. I pretty much only wear Brooks (which is still so weird to say - I always want to say Moving Comfort). Finding a sports bra that works for... more... has been a lifelong challenge, now I don't mess it for high impact, but will sometimes venture out for low impact.

    ReplyDelete
  154. I just ran a 50 mile race Saturday and my back is a wreck from sports bra rub. I'm always looking for comfortable, supportive bras.

    ReplyDelete
  155. I love Under Armour! I also have a Lulu one that is cute but super supportive as well.

    ReplyDelete
  156. I am pretty religious with the Energy bra from Lululemon! but I also love the "stuff your bra" that they no longer MAKE ANYMORE!!! in with the new!
